FEED-COOKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,300, dated April 8,1890.

Application filed January 8, 1890- Serial No. 335,744. (No model.)

g a swaying movement a similar motion is i To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, TILLIAMSOUTH\VICK CARPENTER and ALFORD LnwisMONTAGUE, citizens of the United States, residing at Ganandaigua, in thecounty of Ontario and State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Feed-Cookers; and we do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

Thisinvention relates to that class of cooking-stoves which are designedfor cooking fodder for horses and other cattle; and it consists incertain improvements in the construction of such stoves, as hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a central verticalsection of acooking-stove provided with our improvements. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section of the stove proper. Fig. 3 is. a side viewillustrating certain parts. i

A designates the cylindrical casing of the stove, which is provided witha removable top B. A feed-tube C extends downward from a central openingin the top, which has a cover D.

Within the casing A, and along one side thereof, is formed an air-flueE, which extends up through the top B and downward to the bottom of thecasing, so that the air is drawn down in the cylinder below and underthe firepot F. The said fire-pot is located near the bottom of thecylinder A,leaving space enough below to form an ash-box, and isconnected by rods awith the top plate B, The grate I) under the firepot,or forming the bottom thereof, is pivotally supported on a bar 0, andmay be shaken, as hereinafter set forth. A standard (I is fastened tothe top H, and to said standard is pivoted aplatc or barf, from whichextends a handle g. Two vertical rods 6 are connected at their upperends with the extremities of the pivoted bar f, and extend throughapertures in the top plate B downward and are connected with theopposite ends of a plate 71-, which is pivoted to the side of thefirepot. An arm 1' extends down from the plate h, and is looselyconnected with a lug m on the grate b. By giving the handle impartedfrom the pivot-ed barf, through rods 6, to the arm 1', and the grate isthus shaken. A pipe G, provided with a cowl a, is fixed in the top ofthe'stove for smoke passin g therefrom. On the top B, adjacent to theupper end of the flue E, is fixed a hood 1; in position to turn air intothe flue.

The device, having all its parts inclosed' in the cylinder A or attachedto the top plate, is set in a tank orcask H, as seen in Fig. 1, the feedor material to beboiled or cooked being placed in the cash so that it isheated from the stove at the11center and little or no heat is lost. Thedraft is downward through the line E, the air passing to the bottom ofthe cylinder A and rising to the fire, which is kept steadily burning,and a comparatively small quantity of fuel is required to cook thecontents of a large-sized cask.

The device may also be conveniently used for steaming fodder or otherarticles, such being placed in a barrel or box and the latter connectedby a pipe 3 with the cask H, which is supplied with water, from whichthe steam is generated.

The casing A, with all parts of the stove, may be lifted together fromthe cask, and when it is desired to remove the ashes and cinders thetop-plate B is removed, taking with it the fire-pot and all parts in thecylinder A except the fixed draft-flue E, when the ashes may be dumpedout.

We claim 1. The combination, with a stove-casing A, which is providedwith a movable top, of an air-flue extending downward from the topwithin the casing, as shown, a fire-pot provided with a grate andconnected with said movable top, and devices for shaking the grate,which are connected with the movable top and with the fire-pot,substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. The combination, with the cylindrical casing A, provided with thevertical flue, of a movable top plate provided with a smokepipe, afire-pot provided with a movable grate, a pivoted bar provided with ahandle and carried by a standard on the top plate, and a plate which ispivoted to the fire-pot and is connected by rods with said pivoted barand with said grate by an arm extendingdowntoprplate, substantially asset forth'hhd deward, substantially as set forth and described. scribed.i I
